He must be 23 to 25 years old, in perfect health, at least six feet tall, weigh about 190 pounds, fluent English with some French, proficient with all weapons, some knowledge of engineering and mathematics essential...."

Best SF audio book ever.
Anthologies are risky. Each story by a different author. Who can possibly like them all? You can! Each story in these three audiobook volumes is great. There is not a one that I did not love. Each was completely different from the other.
The narrators are wonderful as well, you probably already know them.

Great Stories and Narration - Not Properly Sectioned
I’ve listened to all three books of the series enthusiastically. It’s a great collection of classic Sci-Fi. I had to drop the overall stars because of the laziness or just lack of care when putting together the audio book. Chapters are not named with individual authors. The publisher doesn’t bother to break it down into book parts (in this case individual stories) and then into sub chapters of those book parts which give much more control for selecting stories and when using sleep mode to listen to a full story at a time. The other editions at least had titles on the chapters.

AUDIO SPACE VACATION!
Science Fiction made easy! An audio future cast direct to the frontal lobe. No screen required. BEST STORY & BEST NARRATOR goes to Gabriel Sloyer's rendition of THE MARTIAN WAY. He invited me inside the cabin and I took my seat for a starry journey through the galaxy. I'm new to the genre but found his characterizations recognizable and a pleasure to hear. Of course Asimov's forecast of an eternal search for resources is so timely that why not cruise through space to locate a creative source from another planet! Listening to these stories I realized how rapidly the fiction aspect is dissolving into Science Non Fiction. A lot of fun here.

Few Lasers. Few epic space battles. Many complete yarns which explore human nature.
Fools who are often extremely poorly read & ignorant of history often dismiss science fiction, however in the 20th century has almost no Literary work which at the time it was written was not science fiction. Many of these tales if read today might be viewed as alternate history.
I think however they should remain viewed and categorized as science fiction simply because this genre is the one in modern times that challenges not only the idea of mountains place in the universe but our philosophies are relationships with one another the constant of war, of poverty, Of duplicity, murder, rape, no other genre shows the smallness in the greatness of an individual.

This isn't science fiction. It's fortune telling.
I have been entertaining myself with "vintage" sci-fi for a few years now. I've noticed how people decades ago have shaped the future; either as facts, or by prepping future fiction.
If you're a fan of science fiction from the 80's and later, do yourself a favor and look back further.

The best of classic SF
Both volumes are phenomenal. His second collection includes some of the longer stories and includes ones that I have remembered reading in other collections in the past. Like the introduction says, many of these are ones that the science-fiction writer masters loved reading and remembered thinking about for a long time. I’ll join them and remembering these excellent stories

Great Window into Recent History
Greatly enjoyed these stories. Science Fiction before space ships and space travel were common. Stories were developed from what was known or envisioned in current time. Certainly not a Space Opera but a succinct capture of the technology and mind sets of that time period. A very good collection.

The existence of this book is sadly not a fiction! Kind of a car park for words where the most interesting elements are the spaces in between.
